Part 3
The one who came in pushing a trolley with a wooden box on it was──
A young girl that he recognized.
「It’s been a while. Thank you very much for that time.」
She was a Human with beautiful black hair, and was wearing a Magic Academy uniform.
If he remembered correctly, she was Horun’s senpai......
「I am a senior high school third year of the Royal Capital Magic Academy, Angeline. Today, I am on the Headmaster’s errand, and brought the article to be handed over to High Chief Priest-sama.」
What was within the wooden box seemed to be an article connected to Diablo.
When Lumachina nodded, Angeline opened the lock to the wooden box.
「This was something that the Royal Capital Magician’s Association bought from a certain Holy Knight some time ago.」
Diablo tilted his head.
「A Holy Knight you say?」
「Since High Chief Priest-sama knows the original owner, it would be best to have it returned──is what he said.」
The lid of the wooden box was opened.
Diablo doubted his eyes.
A black Magic Staff.
「Isn’t this the 《Staff of Tenma》!?」
Lumachina’s expression softened.
「Ahh, as I thought, Diablo-sama, there is no mistake that it is one of your belongings, right?」
Diablo extended his hand out.
He tightly grasped it.
That weight.
The exaltation of magical power that transmitted to him.
Come to think of it, when they brought along Lumachina and challenged the 《Demon King’s Labyrinth》, he dropped this Magic Staff in the waterway.
It was when he chased after Horun who slipped down into the waterway due to Holy Knight Geibalt’s attack......
「I see. So that guy picked it up and sold it off.」
He was a man who would target even the High Chief Priest’s life for money. Considering the 《Staff of Tenma》’s rarity, he would probably pick it up if he could.
What underhanded behavior──is what he thought, but thanks to that, it bounced around and returned to Diablo’s hands.
The EX-class Magic Staff 《Staff of Tenma》──
Its effects were the drastic increase in INT (magical power) and the shortening of Charge time for spells.
It was plain but there were also the words of "the best function for the experienced".
To Diablo, having the weapon that he was most familiar with was appreciated.
A smile naturally leaked out.
「Fu......Ku ku ku......」
Angeline made an uneasy face, and whispered to Lumachina.
「U, um......Is it really alright to hand this over to him? ......I, won’t be tricked again, will I?」
「Ufufu......Of course, you did the right thing.」
Lumachina made a wry smile.
Rem stuck her face out from the room next door saying "what are you doing".
「Ah, that’s! Did your staff return to you, Diablo!?」
「Umu!」
「......It suits you.」
Shera and the others also came into the 《Prayer of Fire Room》.
「Waa! How nostalgicー. As I thought, Diablo, you holding that staff looks the best!」
「Hmph......」
When he was summoned to this other world by Rem and Shera, he had this 《Staff of Tenma》 equipped.
Both Horun and Sylvie said something similar.
Alicia and Lilitana were standing in wait behind them.
If he has equipment praised by women, wouldn’t he get a bit cocky?
「Ku ku ku......A mere Gelmedo Empire, I will annihilate them!」
He took a clean stance with the Magic Staff.
*Zudon!* The sound of an explosion was made, and the Inner Court shook.
──What happened!?
After a while, one of the believers that had a change in complexion came running into the room.
「Th, there was an explosion, at the royal castle! The, the castle is burning!」
Rem and Shera looked at Diablo with faces that looked like they were about to cry.
「Diabloー!?」
「It, it wasn’t me!」
